Assessment:

• All exams and assignments are obligatory.
• The dates are specified in the course program posted on Moodle. Any changes (for example due to unexpected cancelling of lectures) will be duly announced.
• Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 35% of the assessment items.
• The level of English will be taken into account in the correction of written work and in the final evaluation.
• In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
• Irregularities refer, for instance, to copying in an exam, copying from sources without indiacting authorship, or a misuse of AI such as presenting work as original that has been generated by an AI tool or programme. 
• Partial or total PLAGIARISM will immediately result in a FAIL (0) for the plagiarised exercise and if plagiarism is repeated it will result in a FAIL of the whole subject. Plagiarism consists of copying text from unacknowledged sources –whether this is part of a sentence or a whole text– with the intention of passing it off as the student’s own production. It includes cutting and pasting from internet sources, presented unmodified in the student’s own text. Plagiarism is a serious offence. Students must respect authors’ intellectual property, always identifying the sources they may use; they must also be responsible for the originality and authenticity of their own texts.
• In case of absence on a date of assessment (for example due to illness), students must provide a justification to gain the right to re-assessment.

 

Review:

• On carrying out each assessment activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.

Re-assessment:

• Reassessment will consist of an exam and will only be possible for those students who have obtained an average mark 3.5 and 4.9 and have completed all assessment items.
• The maximum grade obtainable on a re-assessment exam is 5.

Single assessment:

Students opting for single assessment will have to carry out the following activities on the same day:

• Exam: 70%
• Text analysis: 15%
• Practical exercise: 15%

The same reassessment method as continuous assessment will be used.

 

IMPORTANT! Erasmus students that ask for a change of date of an exam must give their professor a written document from their university of origin that justifies their request.

 

This subject entirely prohibits the use of AI technologies in all of its activities. Any submitted work that contains content generated using AI will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade will be awarded a zero, without the possibility of reassessment. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.
